Servings: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- ⅔ cup water
- ¼ cup culinary lavender buds
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, stir together the water, sugar, and culinary lavender buds.
- Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved. Avoid a rolling boil.
- Remove from heat and let steep for 15 to 30 minutes. The longer you steep, the stronger the lavender flavor will be.
- Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth into a clean jar or bottle.
- Let cool to room temperature before use. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
Don’t over-steep. Lavender can start to taste soapy if left too long.
For longer storage, freeze syrup in ice cube trays.
